I recently started using Cowling & Wilcox and have been super-impressed with the service. The selection and pricing is fantastic, they dispatch very quickly (even during the Black Friday rush), everything is well packaged too. I needed to email to query something in one of my deliveries and they answered my enquiry within the hour with the full information I needed. In this day and age that's unbelievable. Really, really impressed and will use them as my first choice for art supplies from now on. Thank you.

Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry you had issues with our responses by phone. We pride ourselves on our customer service so this is very upsetting to hear. As an explanation, we've been very busy recently due to the time of the year and have been hit with the winter flu as many other firms have. I can only assume you caught us on a bad day. Once again, I do apologise for this and I can assure you this is not normal for us. Kind regards, Guy. ** Update 13/12/23 ** I understand my colleague, Megan, has been in touch and you're now more reassured that we really care about our great customer service. This is why it's dreadful to hear when we've let one of our customers down. Once again, I do apologise and can assure you this is a very rare incident. If you'd like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Guy.

*Pseudonymized data at the request of the author
Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your order took too long to arrive. I've looked into your order and can see it was sent out within 48 hours of receiving your order but Royal Mail took longer than expected to deliver your goods. I can only apologise for this and assume it is due to the extra pressure they're under at this time of year. In terms of the emails. I'm sorry about this and can assure you this is not normal. It's a symptom of this time of year where we (and our competitors) are reminding as many people as possible about our great offers (ongoing and specific to Black Friday). This will come to an end tonight so I hope you feel you can re-subscribe to us soon. Kind regards, Guy.

The products that I have bought from them are excellent but the number of marketing emails I received following my order is bordering on harrassment. I am so annoyed by this company's marketing tactics that I will not be ordering from them again despite their excellent products.
Review of , following an experience of by A A. *

Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so pleased you thought our products are excellent. Likewise, I'm so sorry our digital marketing team have annoyed you with our newsletters. I totally understand this. I can assure you this is not normal but is a symptom of this time of year where we're all (including all of our competitors) trying to attract custom. I can assure this calms down significantly outside this time of year. If you'd rather not receive our newsletters it's very easy to unsubscribe. There's a link at the bottom of our emails where you can do this in 2 clicks. If you'd like me to do this for you please let me know and I'll be happy to do this. Once again, I'm so sorry for annoying you and I hope the excellent products convince you to buy from us again. Kind regards, Guy Cowling, Cowling & Wilcox.

Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I've looked into your order and notice you bought one of our Student Packs. These packs are chosen by your Course Tutors so we have no say over the products included in them. However, I have to say your tutors have chosen well as all of the products are from quality suppliers and I can assure you our pricing is excellent on these. We strive very hard to keep cost slow on these to help you and your fellow Students. Could you please explain to me a little more what your issues have been with your Pack so I can see if I can help further or you've received items which are not up to standard? Kind regards, Guy.

I first bought from this company earlier this year & was most impressed, both with their prices & the speed of delivery. They also have a wide selection of Art & Craft Materials. So impressed was I, that I have reordered different things around 4 times since then. I think my latest orders was a set of random brushes. Yes these were mainly flat brushes, but there were one or two round. All useful & reasonable quality. I have shopped for myself as an Artist & for presents for my granddaughter. The table top easels are amazing for doing Craft Fayres & Art displays. So quick to put up & heaps better than others I’ve purchased that aren’t so stable. I highly recommend.Many thanks 😊

I’m quite sure that Cowling and Cox is a hardworking company full of excellent staff. I had one small issue with my only order to date ….. I’d ordered two small packets of scalpel blades not realising that I had to give ID before the blades were despatched. After an amount of time had passed I rang and spoke to someone who in no uncertain terms told me that an email had been sent to ask me for my ID. I’d clearly missed the email in question and once I complied, the blades and the one other item I’d ordered were posted. My comment on this review is that whoever I spoke to was impatient with me because it was clearly my fault at not having responded to the ID request! We are all inundated with hundreds of emails that we’re not interested and I, probably like everyone else, scan through them a couple of times a day and remove them as quickly as possible. Yours must have been amongst one such removal exercise. My fault clearly but needless to say I was brought up short by whoever I was speaking to!!!

Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry we were short with you. This is certainly not the way we like to treat our customers so thank you for pointing this out to us. We have a very friendly customer service team so all I can say is you must have got us on a bad day. We've had a spate of Autumn illness recently so I like to think our customer service assistant was having a hard time of it. Once again, I'm so sorry for being off hand on this occasion. Kind regards, Guy.
Answer by A AFlagThank you Guy for your words of explanation and apology. I didn’t think Cowling and Wilcox was any less caring because someone had a bad day but I thought I’d mention it anyway and it won’t stop me from ordering from you again. Thanks again. Yours ever, Patience Lacy-Smith

Prices are competitive but packaging lets the service down. My first order was damaged due to poor packaging. Cowling and Wilcox responded by supplying better packaging for the second order which turned my opinion of the company around. Unfortunately, for the third order it was back to their old ways, with the package simply wrapped in paper, affording no protection against the rough and tumble of postage. Not ideal for art materials. Shame.

Answer by cowlingandwilcox.comFlagThank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry you've had two bad experiences with us where we've let you down with our poor packaging. You're, of course, totally right. We do try and keep our standards very high but sometimes it's difficult to keep an eye on every package going out to make sure our team hasn't cut corners. We will continue to endeavour to strive for the best service we can and, to do that, we're very grateful to hear when we get it wrong. One again, thank you and sorry.
